"Haha, Teacher Ma, are you in good condition?"

Li Lin did not break his promise. Not long after the official document arrived, his people arrived. However, behind him, there was no two prefects in Chizhou and Luzhou mentioned in the official document. There was only a boy who was a little familiar to Ma De: Dog. However, seeing this little guy stretching his hands behind and massaging his butt, Ma De could also estimate why the two prefects could not keep up.

"I'm not good!" Ma De was too lazy to be polite about Li Lin, "What's going on? Since you know the situation, you have to know a little inside story!"

"Oh, my teacher Ma, this time it's really a big trouble!... But I just heard what Chen Yigang and Zhang Chunxiu said. They ran to me yesterday to ask about our relationship. Maybe they wanted to push me to ring the wooden bell for you... But they didn't know what it was for, so why did I reveal anything? You said yes..."

"Stop!" Made shouted.

"What's wrong?"

"You kid, don't say those unreasonable words, and say the key points! If you delay my kung fu, I will give you Fengyang Mansion first!" Ma De said furiously.

"Hehe, yes, yes, Teacher Ma, don't be anxious!" Li Lin felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. He only had a day's friendship with Ma De, and he actually couldn't figure out what Ma De's temper was. However, looking at Ma De's performance now, he had some foundation in his heart.

"Then why don't you say it!" Ma De urged again.

"Yes! Teacher Ma, according to Chen Yigang, the prefect of Chizhou, a few days ago, there were three Taiping Prefecture, Huizhou Prefecture, and Ningguo Prefecture..."

"Stop!" Made called again.

"What, what's wrong?"

"What did you just say, Ningguo Mansion?"

"Yes, it's Ningguo Mansion. Old... Sir, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with Ningguo Mansion?" Li Lin asked carefully.

"Ah, nothing! You continue." Ma De said, but he was muttering in his heart: "What are you doing? Even Ningguo Mansion? No wonder there are so many things in Anhui. Just such a name is annoying enough... Alas, as the governor, I don't even know the names of the prefectures and counties under my rule. I am really not qualified! It seems that I have to recharge well!..."

"Yes!" What's wrong with this guy? Li Lin felt that Ma De was a little strange, but since there was an order on the top, he had to continue to say it, but the title of "Teacher Ma" was not dared to be used randomly. "Sir, the three prefects wanted Chen Yigang to jointly sign and file a lawsuit with them. Then they stopped your car and said they wanted to sue Shi Lun... As a result, Chen Yigang did not dare to be named, so he dragged the matter down. Then he found Zhang Chunxiu, the prefect of Luzhou. When the two heard that I knew you, they came to me together, saying that they hoped that I could tell you in advance so that you would not catch you off guard!"

"...that's all?" Ma De pondered for a while and asked.

"That's right! Sir, this matter is a big trouble! Three prefectures, five prefectures, twenty-one counties, but almost half of the local officials in Anhui are here to report to you. You have to make an idea..." Li Lin said.

"Get an idea? Humph, these guys just want to give me a warning! Three prefectures, five prefectures, twenty-one counties... Twenty-nine officials came to me, the newly appointed governor, to complain. With this ability, why didn't they go to the court to file a complaint with the emperor?... Looking for me? I'm afraid it's just that I just came and didn't understand the situation, and it would be difficult to infringe on the public... I took the public to put pressure on me, hum!" Ma De said angrily.

"What the sir is saying is that these people must have had this idea!" Li Lin nodded.

"Do you know what they are going to sue Shi Shilun?" Ma De asked again.

"I heard from Chen Yigang and the others that it seems that it is because of the order issued by the Fantai Yamen and the Nietai Yamen recently to 'suspend the charge of fire consumption'!" Li Lin replied.

"Stop collecting fire consumption?... Or is it the order issued by Shi Shilun and Lu Longqi together?" Ma De pursed his lips and pondered. "Fire consumption silver" originally meant that local officials would receive a large amount of scattered silver from the people. When these silvers were melted and cast into large ingots, some losses would be generated, called fire consumption. Of course, this loss cannot be supplemented by officials, so fire consumption should be added to the people. At the beginning, the officials also concealed the fire consumption. Later, the court clearly stipulated that it would be collected in addition to taxes.

Fire consumption makes it legal. But how much is it charged? The court's regulations have never been implemented seriously. They always have to add some more to the standards, almost publicly. How much is added? Just based on the conscience of officials, the extra ones are the officials themselves. The so-called "three-year Qing magistrate, 100,000 snowflakes" refers to this type of non-violent input. Therefore, fire consumption is basically a legal plunder! Most of this money has become the capital for officials to give favors, build relationships, and maintain a luxurious life.

Think about it, a county with a population of tens of thousands of households and a population of tens of thousands of households can cost more than one cent of silver, which is more than a few thousand taels to ten thousand taels. How much is this higher than the annual salary of a county magistrate? This is an income that is completely divided into the capital of an official and freely disposal!

"No wonder..." The orders of Shi Shilun and Lu Longqi were equivalent to cutting off the financial path of these officials, no wonder they would be angry with the public. Moreover, coupled with the things that Shi Shilun was causing trouble before, if these officials did not take the opportunity to fight back, they would have really missed the opportunity.

"Sir, from the perspective of the young, there must be talented people among these officials!" Xing Ming was listening and spoke at this time.

"Careful people? Humph, I don't think they are capable people, but these people are definitely brave!" Ma De raised his lips disdainfully, "I don't even know that I am one of Shi Shilun's recommended people, and I want to come to me to complain. Humph, I want to take a look at what these people can do!"

"...Sir, what did you say just now? Did you recommend Shi Shilun to Anhui?" Xing Ming was surprised. It was already surprising that Ma De had an old acquaintance of Fengyang Prefecture in Anhui. Now even the provincial censor was recommended by him... He suddenly felt that Ma De's was far more informative than he had expected before.

"Master, there are two prefects outside asking for a meeting, saying that they were with Lord Li..." Xing Ming was stunned and Hai Liu came to report.

"Sir, it may be Chen Yigang and Zhang Chunxiu..." Li Lin continued.

"Well, then let them come in!" Ma De waved his hand and said.

***************

"Haha, Princess, this is Nian Gengyao who is the deputy to Lord Yu? Why is he so delicate?"

Nian Gengyao and Yisan A followed Luo Xin and rode together into Ninggu Tower. As soon as they arrived, they met a tall man with a beard, a tall figure and a fur coat... and the words of this man were a bit unpleasant.

"Who are you?" Nian Gengyao did not be too artificial. He asked coldly with his temper.

"You ask me? Hahaha... My name is Wurigen*!" the big man laughed.

"Are you a Mongolian?" I had heard that there were many transactions between Luo Xin and several Mongolian Khan kings. It seemed that this was true! After hearing the name of the big man, Nian Gengyao thought to himself.

"Yes, I'm a Mongolian!" Wu Rigeng looked at Nian Gengyao with a smile, as if he had seen something new.

"Okay, Prince Wuri, stop fooling around... General Nian, Lord Yi, this is the eldest son of Prince Zhuosotu of Korqin, Prince Wurigen*. Of course, it is nothing wrong for you to call him Master Beile!..." Luo Xin introduced Nian Gengyao and Yisan'a with a plain expression.

"...Prince Korqin?" Yisan'a tried to remain silent and become deep, but in the end, she was still stunned by the name of the Mongolian man in front of her.

...

"The lower official (the last general) pays homage to His Highness the Prince!"

For other Mongolian Khans or princes, as officials of the Qing court, Yisan A and Nian Gengyao may still maintain a little reserve, but the people in Korqin are different! That is the mother's family of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang! The Mongolian tribe that has been married to the Aisin Jueluo family the most!... So, they could only pay tribute to Wurijuan according to their etiquette, and Yue Zhongqi, Murcha and others who followed them were also unable to escape.

"Hahaha, no, no, I heard from Master Yu that Nian Gengyao is one of the few heroes today, so when I heard you come, I couldn't help but rush over to come and take a look. Tsk tsk... It's just too beautiful!" Wu Ritz* didn't know whether it was praising or harming others, but no matter what, Nian Gengyao could only accept his comments with a dull face. Apart from saying "Your Highness is joking", there was no other way to express protest.

"...Prince Wuri, weren't you drunk with Asuli just now? Where are others?" Seeing Nian Gengyao and Yisan'a's mood had already sunk to the bottom of the valley from the beginning, Luo Xin asked Wuri as if nothing had happened.

"Oh! That boy... no, he has a poor alcohol tolerance. I have been fucked away by me! Hahaha..." Wu Ri Geng* laughed.

"Asuli?" As soon as Ethan said, he knew something was wrong, but he was too sloppy and there was no way.

"Oh! Lord Yi, you will manage Jilin's flag affairs in the future. Don't you know that Asuli is Prince Guo's son?..." Luo Xin asked.
